That's right...Since 1990, plastic surgeons have come up with a variety of different implant procedures to make women feel more beautiful with increased self-esteem. And since J. Lo and Shakira, who've been sticking to healthy eating, and rigorous workouts, seem to have miracles done to their bodies through breast implants, people have been lining up in droves to have similar procedures done.
Lip Augmentation - This procedure increases the size of the lips, making them fuller and nicer looking. The Marilyn Monroe and the Angelina Jolie look are alive and thriving at exponential rates. Lip implants can be accomplished both the upper and lower lips, though they are done separately. Natural or synthetic materials are inserted to accomplish the fuller look. Another surgical procedure can take tissue from the inside of your mouth to the outside of the lips. Some of these processes are permanent, and others are provide only temporary results.
If you've always had thin lips, or you want them to look like they were when you were younger, lip implants may give you the look you want. Are you self-conscious about your lips? Lip augmentation may be just what you need to improve your image. Lip implants are accomplished by the injection of collagen or fat taken from another part of the body. The surgeon will give you anesthetic so there is no discomfort during the procedure. Healing occurs within 7 - 10 days.
Bootilicious Buns - It's all the rage now. A beautiful butt seems to have become so necessary that women have increased the market ten-fold since 2002. Buttock implants are done by a cosmetic surgeon placing implants into the gluteal area so you have more full and rounded behind. Before jumping into a procedure like this, a prospective patient needs to fully evaluate the risks along with the benefits. Your cosmetic surgeon will need to know that you're in perfect health first. If you smoke, he won't do the procedure until quite a while after you've quit.
Buttock implants are done with the surgeon making a vertical incision between the cheeks so that he can insert the implant. You can also specify if you're rather have fat injected from another place on your body over or under the gluteal muscles, as well as under the connective tissue. Semisolid material is used because silicone gel hasn't been approved in the U.S. yet. Gluteus implants don't have a natural, soft feel to them, but a more muscular feel, a bit harder, but will look great.
These implants are quite risky and will require a long recovery time. Incisions are made in areas that are prone to infection and complications can arise. You will not be able to sit down for ten days or return to your daily routine for about a month. Activities that are more rigorous cannot be enjoyed for at least two months after the implant. But to many hundreds of people, the procedure is well worth it.
With any kind of cosmetic surgery, always choose a surgeon who is board certified, has had many years of experience, and will help you make a decision in an unbiased manner.
Fat Implants - This type of implant is for those who want to minimize wrinkles, creases, and can be applied to the eyes and around the mouth. The patient's own fat supply is used for the implant material that can be applied to fill out the face and body where scarring, fat loss due to aging or traumatic defects have occurred. Since the patient's own fat is used, there is little chance of infection or rejection, and virtually zero chance of an allergic reaction that occurs with other collagen injections.
Fat is liposuctioned from a part of the body that is fat-rich like the thighs and abdomen. The fat is then cleaned, excess liquid removed then a tiny needle injects the new fat in the area to be treated. For maximum results, fat implant injections are made into the muscle tissue. This is where the natural collagen will get needed nourishment from the rich supply of blood vessels. The procedure takes anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour, and can be done along with other cosmetic procedures like a face-lift or lipoplasty. Fat implants are a low-risk solution without pain. If you have some discomfort, Tylenol with codeine should be sufficient. A little of the fat implant may disappear somewhat over time because the fat becomes absorbed in the system. Overall, fat implants are permanent, low-risk, and a safe solution to many cosmetic issues.
